If you're looking for ways to incorporate flaxseeds into your daily eating regimen, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to your oatmeal or cereal. Come lunchtime, you can mix up a teaspoon of flaxseed into your mayo or mustard as a sandwich spread. For a snack booster, stir a tablespoon into your yogurt. If baking is your thing, add ground flaxseed to cookies, muffins, banana bread and other baked goods. While some experts recommend consuming some flaxseed on a daily basis, if you use flaxseed oil, it's important to combine it with other oils that have omega 6 such as sesame oil, sunflower oil or evening primrose oil. Over an extended period of time, flaxseed oil can contribute to a deficiency in omega 6, which is why it's important to balance things out.
